Microsoft Rereleases Patch to Fix Problems

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the if-at-first-you-don't-secure dept.

AbdullahHaydar writes "From CRN: 'One day after releasing a fix for an Office XP flaw, Microsoft upgraded the severity of the vulnerability to critical and re-issued a new patch to address a new attack scenario discovered in the last 24 hours.' The funny thing is that the second bug they missed with the first fix is 'critical' whereas the original bug the fix was for is 'important.'"

    So over the past two years, how many does this make now of Microsoft issuing a patch to fix a patch?
